Structural analysis (psychiatry)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Structural analysis is a concept developed by Karl Birnbaum between 1918 and 1923 to make the development of endogenous psychoses understandable and explainable in accordance with the principles of structuralism , elemental psychology and structural psychology. Among structure generally "ordinary Bundling", order or the (invisible) arrangement of the parts is meant a whole to each other. In structural analysis, this also includes the structure and interaction of very specific forces. A distinction is made between pathogenetic and pathoplastic factors, which are to be classified in a dynamic and hierarchical field of tension. Individual factors or elements are: age , gender , character , milieu , experience , situation , experiences, etc. a.

Structure of the psychosis

As mentioned factors already show, physical (or somatically conditioned) and mental (or psychogenetic ) elements are connected with each other in a field of tension ( psychophysical correlation ). The classical German psychiatry assumed that physically determined factors are decisive to be regarded as hierarchical. These are causally effective and therefore pathogenetically decisive forces that also determine the lawfully advancing disease process. They are at the top of the hierarchy and of ' clinical dignity '. - ' Pathoplastic ' factors, on the other hand, tend to be random. They have no influence on the 'disease per se', on the nature of the disease. They contain the social and cultural factors that do not represent ultimate clinical facts (Birnbaum), but have a certain influence on the development of the symptoms, the ' symptoms of the disease '. The separation between ' illness in itself ' and ' disease symptoms ' can be traced back to the philosophy of Kant (so-called thing in itself ). So z. B. delusional content as such ' symptoms of illness ' can be determined by pathoplastic factors. Certain delusions, such as ideas of persecution and impairment, have therefore been viewed as characteristic of paranoia . The case of the main teacher Wagner ( Ernst August Wagner ; 1874–1938) was viewed as a paradigm of paranoia . The triad of typical modes of experience, character and milieu was viewed as pathoplastic for the development of the symptoms in the form of a relationship and persecution mania. Experiences that matched the triggering of symptoms such as the “key to the lock” were ethical failures and experiences of “shameful insufficiency ” ( masturbation complex and conflicts with “belated love of aging girls”). The specific character consisted of a sensitive (sensitive) personality structure, the small-town and petty-bourgeois environment of Wagner was seen as a milieu factor.

evaluation

The psychiatric historical significance of the structural analysis is the transition of the opinion of a single cause heredo- constitutional triggering of psychosis - in terms of heredity - in a so-called. Structural analysis approach . In this case, there is not a single cause responsible for triggering and developing the endogenous psychoses. Rather, in the polymorphic structure of the psychosis, numerous factors are to be seen in a common context (polymorph = diverse). Birnbaum's view is also referred to as a structure-analytical approach. It is comparable to Kretschmer's multiconditional approach . Even if Ernst Kretschmer could not rely on the work of Birnbaum, there is still a historical context, shaped by structural psychology as it was developed by Wilhelm Dilthey (1833–1911). This can be seen more as a personalistic psychology than a psychiatry based solely on the theory of degeneration . From existentialism been are doubts about the Kantian distinction between essence 'and' appearance 'levied. Birnbaum's structural analysis differs from Sigmund Freud's structural model and the psychoanalytic teaching of structural disorders and “structural defects” in the broadest sense by emphasizing psychophysiological conditions ( heredity - developmental psychology ).
